Birthday Skate

 Alex went to a skating party today and for the occasion I created a skate card for the Birthday girl.  I've seen a few examples of skates, but I will tell you how I created mine.  I found a ice skate coloring page online.  I then traced out the white part of the boot and ran that through the Big Shot with the Elegant Lines Embossing Folder.  I then punched holes for the laces which I used Early Espresso 1/8 taffeta ribbon.  I traced the bottom of the boot in Early Espresso and the blade was traced in silver, and attached both pieces on to the white boot.  The top of the skate was Early Espresso Satin Ribbon. 

Thank for looking.

Paper: Whisper White, Early Espresso, Silver
